Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish policies and procedures to address transnational repression—when foreign governments target their own citizens or dissidents living in the United States through surveillance, harassment, or threats. The legislation would likely direct U.S. agencies to identify, document, and counter these activities while protecting vulnerable individuals and communities from foreign government persecution. It affects immigrants, refugees, activists, and journalists who may be targeted by authoritarian regimes operating across borders.
